The Pool Side venue at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bay Island, Port Blair offers an open-air setting that draws directly on the natural drama of the Andaman landscape. Positioned within the resort's grounds on Marine Hill, Sri Vijaya Puram, the space pairs a tropical outdoor atmosphere with the polished hospitality standards that ITC's Welcomhotel brand is known for. The ambient backdrop — open skies, lush resort greenery, and the distinctive elevation of Marine Hill — gives any event hosted here a relaxed yet memorable character that is difficult to replicate in a purely indoor setting.
As an al fresco pool-side venue, the space is defined by the interplay of water, natural light, and open air. Evening events in particular take on a warm, convivial mood as the pool reflects ambient and decorative lighting. The setting lends itself naturally to a flowing, informal layout, and the resort's professional events team is on hand to translate that openness into a well-structured occasion.
The Pool Side venue is well-suited to a range of celebratory and social events, including cocktail receptions, engagement parties, birthday celebrations, anniversary dinners, and informal corporate networking evenings. Its open-air format makes it a popular choice for couples who want a tropical outdoor element to complement a larger wedding programme — whether as a pre-wedding cocktail space, a mehendi setting, or a relaxed post-ceremony gathering.
For corporate clients, the venue works effectively for product launches, team gatherings, and sundowner events where a less formal atmosphere is desirable. The combination of resort-quality service and an outdoor setting means guests experience both comfort and the distinctive character of Port Blair's island environment without sacrificing professional event delivery.
Catering at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Bay Island, is managed in-house by the hotel's food and beverage team, which brings the culinary standards of the ITC group to any outdoor event — from curated cocktail menus to full buffet spreads appropriate for the island climate and the preferences of an international and domestic guest mix.
